The banded mongoose are adding “proficient at downloading their own biologger data” to the long list of reasons why they are an elite little animal.

Living in the bush often means finding weird solutions to problems faced by animals living near humans.

Huge thanks to aquaphor for a truly multipurpose balm that helped us grease this Nile monitor out of the grate he was trapped in!

Calibrating new mini tech for tracking social interaction & movement of the bandeds in a complex enviro like QENP is a challenge, but cheers to the hippo that cleared this path for easier testing!

Fun first few days getting to know the bandeds of QENP and getting started on my PhD data collection!

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science to all the amazing women I’ve been privileged to meet in conservation science.

Sure, it can be a tough road, but to anyone who dreams of a STEM career, I promise nothing worth having comes easy, and you won’t look back - you got this.
